Amendment 1 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) The CARS21 (Competitive Automotive Regulatory System for the 21st century) Final Report1 stated that "efforts with a view to increasing international harmonisation of motor vehicle regulations should be maintained where appropriate, with a view to involving the key vehicle markets and to extending harmonisation to areas not yet covered, notably in the framework of both the 1958 and the 1998 Agreements of the UNECE". In line with this recommendation, the Commission should continue to support the development of internationally harmonised requirements for motor vehicles under the auspices of the UNECE. In particular, if a Global Technical Regulation (GTR) on hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles is adopted, the Commission should consider the possibility of adapting the requirements of this Regulation to those of the GTR. 1 http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/automotive/pagesba ckground/competitiveness/cars21finalreport.pdf

Amendment 2 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 b (new)
(6b) Hydrogen mixtures could be used as a transition fuel to facilitate the introduction of hydrogen-powered vehicles in countries where there is a good natural gas infrastructure. The Commission should therefore develop requirements for the use of mixtures of hydrogen and natural gas/biomethane, especially the mixing ratio of hydrogen and gas, taking into account the technical feasibility and the environmental benefits.
